Former S.C. lawmakers Wallace Scarborough and Catherine Ceips were married at a private ceremony at Ceips’ waterfront home in Beaufort, S.C. on Saturday, the Hilton Head Island Packet reported over the weekend.
Both Scarborough, 50, and Ceips, 54, lost their reelection bids a year ago – Ceips to Sen. Tom Davis (R-Beaufort) in the June 2008 GOP primary and Scarborough in a razor-thin general election loss to Anne Peterson-Hutto (D-Charleston) last November.
On behalf of all of us here at FITS, best wishes to the bride and congratulations to the groom.

Stay classy Wallace. We like you better in the past tense. Stay away from guns, meter readers, and running for office again.

Wilkins legislative award dinner to honor Upstate lawmaker
The fifth annual David H. Wilkins Legislative Award Dinner, scheduled for Jan. 11 in Columbia, will honor Upstate lawmaker Rep. Dan Cooper and will feature a national journalist as the keynote speaker.
Ambassador David H. Wilkins, former Gov. Richard Riley and Furman President David Shi will host the dinner, which has been held since 2005 to honor Wilkins’ contributions to legislative activity in the state of South Carolina.
The Riley Institute at Furman University established the David Wilkins Award for Excellence in Legislative Leadership in South Carolina and presents it each year to a state lawmaker who is deemed to best embody the highest principles of leadership based on integrity, civility and courage.
The keynote speaker this year will be journalist Judy Woodruff, who has covered politics and other news for PBS, NBC and CNN.
A reception will be held at 6 p.m. and the dinner and award presentation will be at 7 p.m. on Jan. 11 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Tickets are $125 per person; a one-year sponsorship, including a table for eight at the dinner and recognition in the program, is available for $2,500.

Past winners of the Wilkins Award include:
2008: Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter.
2007: Sen. Hugh Leatherman.
2006: Rep. Bobby Harrell.
2005: Sen. John Drummond.

Gosh, I thought they were just friends!

Wonder, have no clue, if Ceips would’ve been standing by Sanford and going on national shows making Beaufort look as dumb as we uhhh well are for still having trash in the mansion. Maybe things would’ve shaken out differently, who knows.
Must’ve had a boat load of sex ed talks at the Davis household in 2009. At least kiddies weren’t too shocked by Tiger since daddy’s best friend was so screwed up and it prepped them.
Too bad Tiger doesn’t have a friend like Tom Davis.

Where are my manners!
Best blessings and holy nuptials for these two stallions, for many years of wonderfully wedded, overly and overtly maritally super stimulating surpassing Mark n Maria soaking sheet sexed up down under getaways. You got the better, a soul mate and not a poll mate, believe it.

These two deserve one another. My contempt for Catherine continues to know no bounds…..she is beyond a doubt the lowest of all individuals I have ever met.
